Legolas's slight twitch of an eyebrow that says, "That's what little Dwarves look like?" completely sells the scene."And what is this horrid creature? A goblin mutant?" Nope, that's little Gimli. After the dwarves are captured, Legolas rather meanly takes Glóin's locket, opens it, and asks if the picture inside is of Glóin's brother.When Bilbo trips over spiderwebs while trying to get back down the tree, you can hear him go "Oh, come on!" right before he falls.His little "Oh" and expression of total (dazed) irritation are what truly sell it. When he reaches the far bank, he turns to warn the dwarves to wait - and discovers them all crawling through the branches at once. There being no bridge, Bilbo carefully navigates a tangle of branches, growing more and more uneasy. At one point they reach the river, which they had been warned not to touch. The Extended Edition greatly expands the Mirkwood scenes.Seems the angle they were going for was something along the lines of "High as a fricking kite". The Company going in circles once they lose their way in Mirkwood.Fíli spends the rest of the scene deciding how to tackle it. When Bilbo wakes up to find the Dwarves sitting around Beorn's table, their host is pouring milk into a tankard the length and width of Fíli's arm.The Extended Edition has Gandalf trying to introduce them to him the next morning, two by two, as he does in the book.For those who have read the book, Beorn chasing the company in bear form, only for them to escape by running into his own house.They really were shocked that Stephen Hunter was outrunning them. Made even funnier by the fact that the cast's reactions to Bombur outpacing them was not faked. The others then spend a tense few minutes trying desperately to break it down, until Thorin (the tallest of the Dwarves) arrives and simply lifts the latch.
